Former Manchester United manager David Moyes believes that Kieran Tierney will be a success at Arsenal should he complete a summer move to the Emirates Stadium.
The Celtic full-back has been heavily linked with a summer move to Unai Emery's men, with the Gunners failing in at least two attempts to prise him away from the Scottish Champions.
The Hoops are said to be holding out for a fee of £25m from Arsenal, with a deal between the two clubs said to be edging closer, and Moyes believes that Tierney would be an astute signing for the Gunners should a deal go through.
"He has been outstanding for Celtic for more than three years. He has arguably been their most consistent player during that period," the manager told the Sunday Post (via football Scotland).
"I've always had my eye on him and rated him. He is a top player.
"It's clear that Arsenal want him. It's just whether they can agree a deal with Celtic.
"If he does go to the Emirates, I can see him being a stalwart for Arsenal for the next 10 years."
One former Celtic defender, who has gone onto be a success after moving to the Premier League is Virgil Van Dijk, who has gone from strength to strength since leaving the Scottish Champions.
And while Moyes admits that it may take some time for the Scotland international to adjust, he has backed Tierney to follow a similar path.
"Again, it may take him a little period of time for him to fully adjust to life in the EPL," he added.
"He will be facing a top-end player every week, and he will need to get to grips with that as there will be much more defensive duties to carry out than he has probably been used to at Celtic.
"But if the move goes through, he will go on to show his worth and will be a credit to himself and his country."
